Vengeance

Vengeance:


Holy Symbol:

  • Snake eating its own Tail - An Ouroboros

Aspects:

  • Nü Gui
    • The Name given to her by the last of the Kchonese, with their fevered wishes of revenge giving her life. She takes the form of an innocent looking child wearing a red dress.

Beliefs:

  • All who join the followers of Vengeance have a reason, varied and complicated these reasons are but each one has them. Vengeance followers all have a goal to which they devote their lives, usually to avenge the wrongs done to them. To represent this driving force behind all of them, the initiation ceremony into becoming a Vengeance follower is very specific. They must swear an Oath of their own making to achieve this goal, this oath is sworn in blood. To break this oath is to be cast into hell.
  • Each Vengeance follower has those they oppose, someone or something for whom they have devoted themselves to destroy. For those that succeed they devote themselves to the worship of Vengeance and the support of those who have not yet achieved their vengeance. The personal vendetta will almost certainly be related to the Oath the individual took, and is different for all worshippers.
    • Examples:
      • A Paravalian is the sole survivor from her family, who were attacked by Zealous Amrothians who killed her family because the head of the household was a Lich. She makes an Oath to Vengeance to slay all the Zealots involved and to never trust Amroth or her brood.
      • A wandering salesman is scarred and robbed by bandits, from then on he swears he will destroy any and all bandits.

Holy Days:

  • Remembrance June 11th – This day the Vengeance followers gather to remember the day that their goddess was born, the day that K’chon was raised to the ground by the Nipponese. They raise their glasses solemnly to those that have died in pursuit of their revenge.
  • Oath day xxxx – This is the day that individual Vengeance followers remember the Oath they took, they take it again and celebrate their oath taking.

Anathema:

  • Demons

Note:

Vengeance is unique from the other gods in one way. All may pray to Vengeance, asking for aid in their strife against their enemies. It matters not to Vengeance whether you belong to another god. If you call on her and she deigns it, she will answer.
